Professional Terrazzo Polishing Service Miami

Nothing can truly showcase your terrazzo better than a good polish, and these tips will help in gaining back that sparkle and shine your terrazzo deserves. It is almost always worth it to polish terrazzo if damaged because it is very expensive, unique, and restoration is often less expensive than installing a brand new floor. All furniture must be moved and make sure nothing covers the terrazzo such as mats or carpets. From there, the terrazzo should be cleaned with a cleaner thoroughly so no dirt or dust mixes and interferes with the later process. If your terrazzo has a coating such as wax, a stripper is needed to remove it. Strippers are commercially available but can be very dangerous if misused, so read instructions carefully and utilize all the safety equipment suggested. Once the stripper has been applied successfully, use more pH neutral cleaner with a clean mop to get rid of the dissolved wax and dry. If damages such as stains and scratches were superficial, then it would have been removed with the coating which is an added benefit to the process. The next step would be to wet the floor and use an electric grinder with diamond grit disks to pass over the floor multiple times with while using finer grits each pass.

After this is done, fill any holes your terrazzo may have with the proper epoxy or cementitious base and corresponding aggregate chips. Once the mixture hardens, use a grinder to smooth out the patch until it is thoroughly blended in. Continue to grind the floor and with each pass use finer and finer grits until you get to the finest one. All that’s left is to add polishing powder graded for terrazzo and use a wet polisher around ten times per row. Apply a sealer or wax as instructed by the product label buff it out with an electronic buffer and you should have a beautifully restored and sparkling terrazzo that looks several years younger and will continue to do so for many years to come. Keep in mind that repairing terrazzo yourself is very ill advise unless you know what you’re doing. Any mistake can cause permanent damages, so hiring professional help may be needed if you wish for safer results and reliable results.
